No, I don't cook in tin-cans. I live and cook in a 35" travel trailer I call a Tin Can, with fond affection of course.I cook mostly from scratch using organic/natural/sustainable produce, grains, and beans, meats, and dairy. I hope I can give you some tips on how I shop frugally making a dollar stretch.

Dark Chocolate

A few years ago I came across a doctor who wrote a book called "Eat Right For Your Blood Type".My blood type is "B" and on the DO NOT EAT list is milk chocolate. Each time I have any milk chocolate I get bad indigestion. Lately we have been buying Dark Chocolate at Trader Joe's. I have no problem with this chocolate at all. Below I will give you the ingredients for Trader Joe's organic chocolate bar and a popular chocolate bar.Hershey Chocolate Bar:MILK CHOCOLATE (SUGAR; MILK; CHOCOLATE; COCOA BUTTER; LACTOSE; MILK
FAT;SOY LECITHIN;PGPR, EMULSIFIER; VANILLIN, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR)Vanillin: compound obtained from vanilla: a white aldehyde obtained from vanilla or prepared synthetically. PGPR: It is a long definition so I just gave you a link.The rest you should know.Now for Trader Joe's Organic Chocolate Bar;Organic dark chocolate, (cocoa mass, cane sugar, cocoa butter) roasted almonds, dry cocoa solids 73% minimum.We have a small square with our Trader Joe's wine. We don't pay over $7 for a bottle red wine blends. Lots of good good wine there.
